Our client, a US government contractor, faced challenges with their canine behavior evaluation process, burdened by time-consuming manual paperwork and reporting procedures. To streamline and optimize this crucial task, they sought a bespoke Microsoft Surface application.
OBJECTIVE
The client, a prominent US government contractor responsible for canine behavior evaluation, approached App Maisters with a critical objective in mind. They sought to develop a comprehensive application that would revolutionize their canine behavior tracking process. The government required a streamlined solution to record and monitor canine interactions with specific odors, eliminating the burden of excessive paperwork and manual management. The primary goal was to empower evaluation officers with a user-friendly digital platform that efficiently captures behavioral data, enables quick data access, and provides comprehensive data summaries. By achieving this, the client aimed to equip their officers with the necessary tools to make well-informed decisions while maintaining an auditable database of canine test results and video recordings for reporting and compliance purposes.
SOLUTION
In response to the client’s need for efficient canine behavior evaluation, App Maisters proposed an innovative solution utilizing Microsoft Surface technology.
